About us

Ovingdean Hall Foundation has grown out of Ovingdean Hall School for Deaf Children, which closed in 2010. The Trustees remained committed to maintaining the aims, ethos and spirit of the school and in July 2012 set up a foundation working in partnership with the Ewing Foundation. Together we are a far stronger voice for deaf children in the UK.

We are a registered charity and grant-making organisation supporting education projects for deaf children and young people. We have recently funded projects at The Talking Trust, Hamilton Lodge School and College for Deaf Children, The Elizabeth Foundation, St John’s Catholic School for the Deaf and Sign Health.

Every application is carefully vetted and, if successful, subject to monitoring and evaluation. We would like to support as many suitable projects as possible and to this end we actively fundraise to increase our ability to give. If you would like to support our work or make an application, please visit www.ovingdeanhall.org.uk to find out more.
